My Symantec antivirus detected an instance of the W32.Spybot.UBH on my
machine, however, it could only quarantine it, not delete it altogether. I
have been following the instructions on Symantec' website
(http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.ubh.html)
which, at one point, require deleting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ENUM\ROOT\LEGACY_SVKP

Unfortunately, RegEdit just won't allow me. When I locate the key, and press
delete, I get an 'Error Deleting Key' popup message. Any suggestion? As
always, thank you in advance for your ideas.

Reboot in SAFE MODE and run AV software again.

Then, in SAFE MODE, edit the registry again.

Here's another thing - if you can't delete the registry key, then reboot
from CD, select repair, go to the console, then delete the file that you
were trying to remove via the registry entry. Once you do this, reboot
in safe mode, remove the registry entry. If you do this, the file should
not be able to load and reinsert itself in the registry.

Right click the key in question. Select Permissions. Ensure that your =
username has full control. If not, modify the permissions. If your =
username isn't listed, click Add and add it to the list with Full =
control.
